Now for some Anishinabemowin sentence-ology:

To talk about past and future tense in a sentence you must use a prefix marker.

First off if you are talking about yourself you would use the (Ni /
Nin) marker. If you are talking about someone in the 2nd person (You)
you would use the( Gi / Giin) marker. Attached to these would be the
tense marker – Wii – Future tense, Gii Past tense. There are lots more
of these markers, but I am trying to keep this simple for beginners, as
you continue your studies, you will find that there are many morphemes
and many markers in Anishinabemowin. Please note, I am not a linguist so
I am probably not using the correct linguistic terms here to explain
this… check with a linguist for the correct labels. Now for a sentence
to show you how you affix these markers.
